      Monday, Monday, Monday!

      Rare for me to get excited about 15-20mph SW, but that’s the kinda season it has been so far…plus I think we might get a little boost. Here’s the story:

      Huge low pressure to the north along the polar front crosses Hudson Bay. Higher pressure to the west, south and east gives a pressure gradient over Lake Erie. Now, it’s not a spectacular pressure gradient, and most of the models are only giving us 15-20mph, BUT, I’m optimistic for 25mph, which is what the high res versions of NAM and WRF are showing, because I think there may be some thermal enhancement tomorrow. Clear skies and moderate air pressure tomorrow, plus significant cooling over night tonight makes me optimistic for a 4.7m session over a 5.3m session.

      As of now it does not look like there will be much wind before 1pm, At this point I’m aiming for the best session between 3-6pm once the thermal kicks in or at least diurnal mixing is at a max. A cold front comes through well after dark, so there is not much arrival-time planning decision to be made with regard to the cold front.

      I doubt this will be a true “wave session” but I think we may get some rides. Probably not worth taking a day off work, but reasonable probability of excessive smiles as we all will appreciate whatever wind we can get.

      Do a wind dance before bed to help us all out!!!! Get in on video if you can.
